I make a Steel Knot by Bending Rebar - Reef Knot - without Heating, Metal Art Project

In this video, I make a Steel Knot by Bending Rebar, without using heat.
The knot is called a Reef Knot or Square Knot
This Reef knot will be used in a future Industrial Style project. I love the look of industrial-style furniture and rebar with knots fits right in with the look I like.
I hope you enjoy my video of the project, it was a lot of fun to make.
The main tools used were a Hammer, an angle grinder, and a bench vise.
Tools / Supplies, I often use are.

[@frankschmohl6944]

I really like your content. What would you use to keep the steel from rusting?

[@GavinClarkdiy]

I often use Penetrol Rust Treatment Penetrates Rust 300g Aerosol Spray, and then put two topcoats of Semi-Gloss Clear Coat. That is what I used on the rebar lettering on the back of my workbench, here is the link to that video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHKQqJ5sZ7-ans0 I try not to comment on finishes, As what climate you are in, is it inside-outside, lots of rain, ice, do you want long term and rarely touch, or a wax with a wipe over every year. That is why I have no opinion, Please ask someone in your area what you should use, I feel this is a better way to find out what would be best for you. Thank you for your comment.

[@markburnstein5546]

Hey Gaven . THE First knot my Dad taught me Was the Cinch knot. Do U Think ??? 👍

[@GavinClarkdiy]

That is a tough one, I would not be able to pull it to make it, to make look tight especially using rebar, and I don't want to make it all red hot, I think I will have to pass on your Cinch knot, thank you for your suggestion, I appreciate it.

How to prevent this from rust? any coating! Please mention it.

I will probably use wax, there are a lot of tight places and the wax will get in it well. Thank you for your comment.
